A vibration member driving method is provided which can efficiently move driven objects, including dust, in a predetermined direction with vibrations. In the vibration member driving method of applying at least two driving voltages to at least one electro-mechanical energy conversion element, which is disposed in a vibration member, and generating a plurality of standing waves, which are different in order from each other, in the vibration member with a time phase difference set between the standing waves, thereby producing a composite vibration resulting from the plurality of standing waves, the driving method includes changing at least one of a voltage amplitude ratio and a time phase difference between the at least two driving voltages such that an amplitude distribution of the composite vibration is changed. |
